English settlers had ambivalent images and feelings about the natives of North America. Analyze why this was so and what images/feelings seemed to prevail
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: On the one hand, the English settlers anticipated Indians as a friendly, gentle people, eager for trade and willing to share their earthly paradise. On the other hand, Englishmen feared the Indians as a savage, hostile people. Negative images of the Indians seemed to prevail, providing a moral justification for taking land from a people who rejected the "superior" culture and religion of the Englishmen.
